it from getting wet or being exposed to humidity. Do

SPECIAL NOTE: Exposure to vibrations through pro-
longed use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause
blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and
joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnor-
mal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been
linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy peo-
ple. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling
in the fingers, hands or joints, discontinue use of this tool
and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration system
does not guarantee avoidance of these problems. Users
who operate power tools on a regular basis must closely
monitor their physical condition and the condition of this
tool.
